that sucks.

you need to upgrade to IOS 5 first and then downgrade it back.

hmm ios5.1 already out for developer hmm will ios5 untethered jailbreak will be release?

Steps of semi-tether

After JB it pls add souce in Cydia repo http://bigboss.org/tether.. And install Semi-Tether from the repo. WITHOUT RESTART all are working GOOD ! include some tweak from Cydia that is support for IOS5..

If RESTART, all tweak from Cydia is gone, eg, SBsetting, 5dock icon etc.. Your phone will look like original IOS 5 setting... email app cannot use, the rest such as Safari and all ORIGINAL app can be run normally, phone, SMS, all running fine.. To solve safar or mail app, if yahoo mail, download yahoo mail app or gmail mail app. So this solve the problem.. For safari, use others browser such as Dolphin browser. All these solve your problem if u reboot.

Summary.. it is worth to do semi-tethred jb as it is close to untethered..Of course, when we are back with computer. Just plug it back to do tethered boot via Rednow to return back to FULL function

Does anyone face the problem of the semi tethered icon is blank silver? I managed to get original icon which is the "connect to itunes" but now blank only. Even after reboot with redsnow or reboot normally.

when i try to boot Tethered this error come up :

Couldn't download required IPSW

Error with SHSH blobs!

Anyone know why ? yesterday can boot nicely but today cannot.

Thanks

No need to update to the latest OS and downgrade. You just need to download the IPSW file for 4.3.3 directly from some of the sites (iClarified) abd the use the Shift restore. I'll explain further below (need to open another tab to get the info)

How to Downgrade/Restore 4.3.3 Firmware using TinyUmbrella (WIndows)

List of Firmware Files and Where to Download Them

great info there
i always thought need to upgrade to latest firmware then downgrade. never knew that you can just restore to 4.3.3

Thanks!

ios 5.0.1 will out in a few weeks.. and based from redmondpie, unthethered jb will take longer time for 5.0.1. so must i upgrade to ios 5 now? since the unthethered jb ios 5.0 will be out before 5.0.1 can be unthethered...

yeah dream on. 5.0.1 will solve some bugs issue in iOS 5 and only then they want to release untethered for iOS 5? a bit too late for me though

U need to have internet connection on your PC in order to boot tether via rednow. If not this is the error message u get

Added on November 10, 2011, 9:26 amDo Not Update To iOS 5.0.1 If You Want Untethered iOS 5 Jailbreak

Yesterday, we published a post in which we talked about a Chronic Dev Team member claiming that he had found a bug which would help in untethered jailbreak for iOS 5. Today, the same member has let jailbreaking enthusiasts know that if they wish to jailbreak their iOS device untethered, they should stay away from iOS 5.0.1.

The news comes straight from pod2g – iPhone hacker and member of the Chronic Dev Team – in the form of an update sent out from his Twitter account in which he states that people who plan on jailbreaking should stay away from iOS 5.0.1 because of the bug and the resulting exploit that was found recently will be closed in the latest version of iOS.

From Twitter:
Note about 5.0.1 : don’t update if you plan on jbking : the bug Charlie MILLER found can simplify exploits dramatically and will be closed.

No details have been given about the bug, so all we know at this point is that it was discovered by security researcher Charlie Miller and that it can “simplify exploits” so it becomes easier to jailbreak. This bug, however, is expected to be squashed in iOS 5.0.1, which will be released in a few weeks.

On being asked if iOS 5.0.1 would ever be jailbroken, this is what pod2g had to say:

@JKurtz87 I didn’t tell 5.0.1 would never be jbken but it will certainly take more time.

@NickAnema some dev may create a package on Cydia containing the differences between 5.0 and 5.0.1.

So people who wish to update to iOS 5.0.1 because of its important improvements – like fixing the battery drain issue, fixing the iPad 2 Smart Cover issue and adding multitasking gestures to original iPad – will have to make a compromise. Either they get the untethered jailbreak, or they get better battery life.

If they do, however, decide to move to iOS 5.0.1, they will get the untethered jailbreak but will have to wait longer.

Currently, iOS 5 jailbreak is tethered so you have to be connected to a computer every time you have to reboot. The jailbreak pod2g is talking about is expected to be untethered and will work on iPhone 4S and iPad 2.

Until then, you can follow our guide on how to jailbreak semi-tethered iOS 5 (or iOS 5.0.1) which lets you reboot without a PC, but with limited functionality.

Update: Developer Zack Whitfield has informed us that pod2g’s bug, which we talked about in this post, is separate from the Charlie Miller bug that will be, according to Pod2g, patched in iOS 5.0.1. Pod2g’s bug will still be able jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 untethered, but it will take longer.

You will need the SHSH blobs to restore to your current firmware which is not signed by Apple . If your iPhone is still working but with some bug, you can save your shsh using tiny umbrella right away . But if your iPhone is in Recovery Mode Boot Loop or whatsoever that makes Tiny Unbrella unable to detect your device, then you have no choice but to restore to the latest firmware first then after that downgrade using SHSH blobs .You can't just simply point to firmware 4.3.3 and expect it to work .
